Felicity
Meetings were boring.
Add ADHD suffering bored demigods to the mix, and it could be questioned why anyone thought a meeting like this was a good idea.
Thankfully for Felicity, this was the only meeting she would have to go to for the year. If not longer. Assuming that over the next few weeks another war didn't break out. Or the camp suffered a God's curse. Or if there was another prophecy. Or if Percy finally showed up.
Shaking her head, the blonde tried to stop thinking about scenarios that could lead to another meeting before either Annabeth or Malcolm returned. The former was currently out searching for her missing boyfriend, and the latter had temporarily gone home to spend time with his family. With those two gone, the 15 year old had somehow found herself as Cabin Counsellor. She wondered why anyone thought it would be a good idea.
The smell of fire caught the demigods attention; causing her to look around the room before there eyes landed on one of the Stoll brothers. Travis, if Felicity wasn't mistaken. Somehow the Son of Hermes had set one of the ping pong on fire. While she'd heard that he had a tendency to do that, she had thought it was an exaggeration.
Seeing that the daughter of Athena was looking at him, he grinned at her; she couldn't help the small laugh that escaped her.
With a skill set like setting plastic on fire, it was a wonder that he was one of the Cabin Counsellors. And, with Cabin Counsellors having tendencies like that, it was a wonder that they ever accomplished anything. In fact, the blonde was wondering how Camp Half-blood still existed; especially when one took into consideration that this place had been home to demigods for thousands of years.
"Travis, extinguish the fire," a low voice warned, though there was an exasperated tone and a sigh attached. The boy in question smiled innocently as he followed the instructions. Though holding the remains of the ping pong ball; somehow the innocent smile didn't have the desired effect. Still, he moved over, sitting himself next to Felicity with a grin. The other Cabin Counsellors were quickly following suit, sitting themselves around in a rough circle like shape.
"So what's up?" Will, son of Apollo, asked as everyone had finally settled themselves again. Felicity was almost surprised that he was the one bringing it on track. But then again, she supposed that he just wanted to get out as soon as it was possible.
"There have been a lot of reports where numerous monster sightings have happened in Washington, the coastal area of Clallam County… most of the reports have been handed in by mortals" the centaur explained, his eyes assessing the reactions of the halfbloods in front of him. Like he expected there was a moment of shocked silence, before the outcry began as they processed what Chiron had just told them.
"But mortals can't see monsters!"
"Does that mean something's happened to the mist?"
"Thats absurd!"
"This could mean a number of things!" Chiron finally declared, his deep voice booming through the room and over the sounds that the demigods were making. The authority in his tone had gotten them to quiet down once again as they looked at him curiously. "It is possible that the mist is disappearing… or it could merely be that there a large number of mortals that have the ability to see through the mist in that area. Another possibility is that a strong demigod is in the area."
The last one was still met with silence. Felicity knew that everyone would be hoping that it was Percy, hoping that he was there. But if he was there, it didn't explain why he hadn't returned to Camp as of yet.
For once the demigods remained in a contemplative silence.
"So ya gonna send a group on'a quest?" Elliot, a son of Nemesis, finally broke the silence that had come over the room. Chiron nodded as he looked around the room.
"I was thinking of sending one of you," he finally announced. Again there was an uproar, demigods blurting out the reasons why they should be the ones sent, or why it was a suicidal mission if there had been numerous sightings of monsters. Felicity kept her mouth shut as she thought for a moment, before preparing herself to speak.
"Shut up!" the teenager yelled, her voice filled with certain confidence and it was enough to temporarily get them silent. Felicity wasn't one to normally yell, so it was probably the shock that caused it. With silence achieved, she turned to Chiron. "The Coast Clallam County? Is that Quileute land?"
"Yes it is," Chiron stated, looking at the blonde curiously. Her grey eyes met his brown ones and she straightened herself up.
"Then I should be the one to go," she announced, noticing the way people looked at her questioningly, some shocked and some annoyed.
"Why should you go? You're not even the actual Cabin Counsellor!" Clarisse argued, and the daughter of Athena turned to face her.
"None of you have a reason to be there, a teenager suddenly showing up and living by themselves in Indian land or Forks. That's suspicious. I'm actually Quileute, from La Push. My stepmom and brother still live on the reservation. I have a reason to be there," she commented dryly, not backing down from the glare that the daughter of Ares gave her.
Felicity vaguely noticed the thoughtful nod that Chiron gave her.
Emily
It would have been a lie if Emily Young had said she was expected the phone call she got from Sam's sister two weeks ago. Hell, Emily barely knew anything about Felicity aside from her name, and her existence being the reason why the boys felt it was likely that Embry was Sam's brother.
Today however, was the day that she was expecting Sam's younger sister to arrive. She had told Sam she'd be more than happy for the teenager to stay with them as opposed to with Sam's mother, Allison. While the teen had said she'd be happy to, Emily thought that perhaps it would be a bit awkward for both Allison and Felicity.
It was only now that she had started thinking about the possible consequences though.
How on earth were they supposed to keep the pack a secret, given that the members were constantly in and out of Sam and Emily's house! And at odd hours as well! There was no way that they could play it off as a completely normal thing!
And on top of that, would the teenager even like her?
The last option seemed just as, if not more, pressing and terrifying to Emily. She knew the last time Felicity had been in La Push, Sam was dating Leah. And from what she heard, given Leah used to babysit Felicity, the girl had been rather from of Leah. Would she be angry that Sam had gotten a new girlfriend? That they were engaged? Especially because it was obvious that Leah was still in pain because of the situation.
With all that going through her head, Emily was even more terrified because Sam wasn't there. She was going to be greeting her future sister-in-law and her own fiancee was on patrol, just as he always was. Emily was just hoping that he came back before his sister arrived, because her time of arrival was a bit of a mystery.
She had half a mind to call Kim and ask her to come over so that she wouldn't be alone. In fact she might have asked any of the boys that had spare time to come over as well. But at the same time, she was certain the teenager would also be a bit nervous; and she didn't want to overwhelm the poor girl either.
So she spent her time almost obsessively cleaning the house that they owned, and in between started to prepare dinner. The boys were definitely going to be coming over, in order to properly meet Sam's sister and also so she'd get the idea that they are around all of the time.
Finally, at about 4 the door bell rang, and there was still no sign of Sam. Emily took a deep breath, shaking slightly with nerves as she walked towards the door, forcing a smile on her face. Another deep breath later, she slowly opened the door, looking at the girl that stood in front of her.
If the girl was shocked by the scar, she didn't show it. Her eyes didn't linger for long on the scar, though she saw the grey eyes scan over her once, seeming to evaluate her before looking back to her brown eyes.
"Hi, I'm Emily," she offered, holding her hand out to shake it. The teenager took her hand with a soft smile.
"Felicity, it's nice to meet you," the girl responded. Emily let her eyes run over her again. This girl was the last thing that she expected. She looked nothing like Sam. And while Sam had told her that was the case, she didn't think that they meant this different.
Felicity had curly blonde hair, pulled back out of her face in a messy ponytail, and stormy grey eyes. She was slightly shorter than Emily, and although her skin was a darker colour than a caucasian would have, it was much paler than Emily's skin. It seemed that her entire physical appearance had been inherited from her mother.
"Come on in, Sam will be home soon and so will some of the boys," Emily said holding the door open for the girl. She was surprised when she realised that backpack was all that the girl had brought with her. Closing the door behind them, Emily began a tour of the house, showing the girl her own room right at the end of the tour. "It's not much, but you can change things if you like. Sam and I want you to feel at home here."
Emily stood in the door frame as the girl dropped the bag on her bed, looking around the room. Finally she turned back to her, a soft smile on the blonde's face.
"Thank you for everything," she said softly. "It's more than enough."
"If you want we can go shopping tomorrow, maybe with Kim to get some stuff to decorate… just if you like that is," Emily offered, watching as the teenager looked at her in shock, before the smile grew.
"I'd love to," Felicity answered, not really knowing how to express herself.
"I know you don't have much… but do you want me to help you put stuff away? Then we can maybe go for a walk and I can show you around La Push before I get dinner ready…"
"That'd be great… and I can help you with dinner then," the demigod offered, a smile on her face as she felt the awkward atmosphere fading from between the two of them. While she had been a bit hesitant about coming at the beginning, she had a feeling that this wouldn't be bad. In fact, currently she was very glad that she'd volunteered to go.
A/N:
Hi guys, this is something that's been floating around in my head for a while now, so I thought I'd finally get it out and write a bit… though I've also got other things that I'm in the process of writing.
So, I hope that you guys like this chapter. I'm not entirely sure, but I think this will either be a Seth/Felicity or Paul/Felicity fanfiction.
Though Seth is adorable.
I suppose we'll see in the next chapter though! Feedback is also appreciated guys!
